I have included in the following slides some key sections from each of the codes you will primarily encounter on the test. I recommend reading each of the key sections noted. The Denver Building Amendments can be difficult to navigate. I recommend reading through one time the entire Chapter 5 and reading through two times the entire Chapter 9. The majority of the second part of your test will be answered in Chapter 9 of the Denver Building Amendments.

This slide show contains multiple timed questions. All questions can be answered using the International Fire Code, The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and the Denver Building Amendments. If you put the slide show into slide show mode, the slides will transition automatically and allow you 3 minutes for each question. The answers will stay up for only 15 seconds. When you reach the end of the practice test there will be a slide that reads STOP. You can then click on the slide and the questions will be repeated without the timer so that you can write down questions and answers and take notes. During the timed section, do not worry about writing down the correct answer. Proceed through the timed section then review the questions and answer again without the timer.
